The new single from Ausitn power-pop outfit Mean Jolene has it all: beautifully harmonized gang vocals with a 1960’s shimmer, 90’s female rock guitar hooks and grit, and an earnest look at the double-edged sword of escapism: a necessity for self-preservation pocked with a compulsion towards innocent complacency. And there’s something about the energy of this song that gives it a mermaid-like quality; it’s hard to articulate, but easy to feel.
Mean Jolene has a single release show for “Private Plane” tonight at the Hole In the Wall with Gummy Fang and Andrew Cashen & the Disciples of Creation.
